I understand the whole "married before officer/enlisted as exception" isn't considered fraternization. Please understand that is not what I am asking.

If there is a sibling/parent/son or daughter who is an officer and you are enlisted, do you render a salute to them?

Also, does the family member have the right to give officer orders to the enlisted?

Please provide supporting ARs/AFIs/MCOs/NAVREGs/SOPs (that was a mouthful) for this questionnaire. Thank you!

At work or in uniform? Yes. In the privacy of your own home? That's none of our business.

My little brother is a CW2. You better believe that I rendered him a salute at his promotion ceremony. To be honest, it embarrassed him. Same with my uncle who issued the oath. He is a retired AF LTC who wore his uniform for the ceremony. The right thing to do is always the right thing to do.

I'd be honored to salute my baby sister! All day every day 24/7. No regulations posted. I'm retired.

Darn right! If my daughter follows my advice and goes the Officer path I'd be the first in line to salute her...if only to recoup $1 of my investment
